"Shawty" to refer to women. I don't find it sexist (though some probably do), I don't find it belittling (though it probably is), or particularly offensive to women in any large way, it just... It really just annoys the HELL out of me

Number 1: precocious kids. You know what? You DON'T know everything. You're NOT smarter than everybody else, you're NOT better than everybdody else, and when you run off to do what you are absolutely SURE is the right thing and get everybody else in shit for it, you DON'T get to just get off the...

My gf is a bit of a Harry Potter fan (why do I feel the need to justify this? Whatever) so when watching the movies over her shoulder I usually pick up more than a few gripes. 1. Apparently truth serum is a real thing, and apparently it's easy enough to put together that the potions teacher...

You think THAT makes it subjective? Wait until you realise that not only do we order the qualities by subjective importance, but we also go on to decide which ones are better and which are worse on entirely subjective grounds. Let's say I think graphics is #1 and music is #2 in importance. Not...

1) Male 2) Straight 3) Probably more than is healthy for me. Lots of roleplaying type stuff. Incest, domination, that kinda thing. In terms of fantasies I have this weird attraction towards the idea of being turned into a female and being dominated. In pretty much every fantasy I have a...

I absolutely love Dishonored, but I agree. That game had a real issue of flat characters in general, though. Corvo never talks, and 90% of your "allies'" dialogue is expositional. And they all talk so BLANDLY about everything, like they're never all that concerned. I don't know, just something...

It's not a terrible example, but I always have a minor reaction in Shaun of the Dead when Ed's sitting on the couch playing Timesplitters 2 and Shaun comes down to join him, picks up a controller and you hear the voice say "PLAYER 2 HAS ENTERED THE GAME". I love the movie (along with all the...

Anal sex. Don't get it, never have, doubt I ever will. It seems unhygenic and just generally gross. I mean, why would you want to stick your dick in that anyway? It'd be like having sex with a dry tube smeared with crap. I don't understand how it could ever seem appealing. If you like it great...

Thanks for weighing in, I really enjoyed reading your post and it gave me some hope for the future of gaming - quite an important thing because I tend to be more of a pessimist about these things. Also; that's alright, I do the same thing, and I'm pretty sure I did it also in the OP

Another valid point raised is why should we bother trying to gain 'artistic' acceptance at all? This is a good question, but I think the answer's been raised here too. Ultimately, I don't think we should care if the everyday non-gamer doesn't think games are art. Why should we care about their...

There's a lot of good things being said, and thanks to everyone for participating. I'd like to respond to this point, though. To your first point, I'd say that I agree, message isn't a requirement for art. The reason I think message is important, though, is because of the last part of my...

Greetings all, you may remember me from an open question about organ donation some time ago... more than likely you don't, so in that case, hey what's up? Before I get on to the topic I'd like to discuss, I feel it necessary to get a few preliminaries out of the way. First of all, I apologise...

This morning, to my girlfriend. Like many above, I tell her every day. I'm determined that, if tragedy strikes her, I will NOT be one of those people who wishes they'd said it once more. I also say it to my parents, but outside that, no. Tried it once, in a less serious sense to a girl who said...

I'm sorry if it's been said, but I fail to see the problem. The single consequence of this is that the 2D purists will breed themselves out of existence while we get to have sex and do fun things with real girls who can actually respond and care about us, and be cared about in return. What's the...

Doesn't seem like such a challenge to me. Everybody I draw is unattractive...
